Sharon has been creating visual arts most of her life. In adulthood she has been torn between a career in science and the creative arts. She is constantly seeking balance between her analytical and spiritual sides in her creations. Her efforts have included technology, graphic design, horticulture/gardening, photography, and other two and three dimensional arts and crafts.

Lincoln has been making things since he was 5 years old, when he asked his father for some wood "to make a boat that floats". For many years he made molds and models for commemorative and scholastic objects and studied sculpture, coin, and jewelry design. He has made country furniture, sculpture in wood, metal, and stone, turned wood and designed graphics. All have been strongly influenced by his love of nature, Asian art, history, and search for beauty and spirit in daily life. His craft is, for him, part of the meditation in which he seeks oneness with material, beauty, and with all beings.

In 1975, after finishing a course at the School of Fashion Design in Boston, Bobby began making clothes for his wife and friends. Meeting a leather craftsman in 1977 and becoming fascinated with the process, he learned all he could, bought a heavy duty Singer sewing machine, and started Asiko Leather & Crafts. Meaning ‘timeless’ in Nigerian, Asiko reflects Bobby’s wish that while fashions may come and go, his work will remain in style. You can view his work in our Leather and Fiber Arts showcase

Thankful for his creativity, Bobby credits God as giver of the gift. His philosophy is that we should not just look at what we can see right now and the troubles all around us, but instead look forward to the joy we have not yet seen.You can reach Bobby at asikoleather@verizon.net or call him at 617-479-9994
